2021 Chardonnay
Aromas of straw, peeled apples, crysanthemum petals and nectarine over brioche.
Flavors of golden apple, golden peach, D'Anjou pear and toasted hazelnut nutmeg pastry crust. It displays a lovely balance between luscious, ripe orchard fruit and carmelized qualities like crème brûlée, crust. Lifting accents of lemon curd and a suggestion of Jasmine tea provide a floral brightness to the richness in texture. There is a hint of minerality as well to add a lovely Burgundian complexity rather like a Mersault.
The 2021 vintage received 80% new French oak and balanced malolactic fermentation to provide extra complexity and body while retaining brightness and lift.
